I am really loving Milani brand polishes. They are reasonably priced (around $5 a bottle). I want to introduce you to Key West and its little buddy Hi Tech. Hi Tech is on the accent nail. This is their 3D Holographic line. I have 2 coats of Key West on each nail, and then 2 coats of Hi Tech on the accent nail with a finishing coat of Seche Vite. I love the combo of the blue-green and the sparkly lime green.
Key West is teal in color with tiny flecks of blue and green sparkle. Went on smooth. Hi Tech is a 3D holographic. It is a greenish yellow color and it really does look like it has some depth to it. See for yourselves!

Maisie Shine - Fantasia
Sot his is my second experience with an indie nail polish designer and I absolutely LOVE this polish!!!!
This is Maisie Shine's Fantasia!!!
When I picked this up at her Etsy Store (CHECK THEM OUT HERE!) I figured it looked great in the picture and I had to try it for myself. Actually I tried on our mom first, then repeated it on myself. :)
On Etsy she showed pictures with two coats so I started with one...
Hmmm...definitely getting some glitter in there and the blue is coming through but not enough. I then applied the second coat and BAM!
A whole different story!! I think it looks great - this is with no top coat and it was already so shiny!
I then added top coat...
Oh that is MORE LIKE IT!!!!!
Overall I love this polish. The glitter lays flat and the sheen is amazing! Two coats and you have an amazing cobalt blue, glittery polish. I have heard this is the it color right now. I'm actually wearing a blue shirt in almost the exact color. See?
So please check out Maisie Shine's etsy shop and buy some of her polish! If this one is so gorgeous I can imagine the rest would be too.

China Glaze - Gothic Lolita
So on to my second bottle of China Glaze that I got. This is a great year round purple. Bright enough for summer, but soft enough for spring. Muted enough for fall and heck it's just a great purple in general!!
Let me introduce you to Gothic Lolita by China Glaze.
This picture of the paint in the bottle does not do it justice. I currently have this polish on my fingers AND toes because I fell in love with it that much!! I went with two coats for the best coverage.

Here comes the remainder of the photo bomb. And these pictures are without any top coat.
It's just a gorgeous purple and it goes on SO smooth!! I would highly recommend this one for a year round regular use polish. It's stunning!!

China Glaze - Fast Track - The Hunger Games Collection
This is Fast Track by China Glaze. It is from the Capitol Colors Collection based on the The Hunger Games movie and book. I got this on sale and I had to have it!!
It looks very beige in the bottle with maybe a little bit of shimmer to it. Looks like it would be a very nice neutral.
Here is one coat...
Oooo, it's like GOLD!!!!!!!! Time for another coat!!!
GAH!!! IT'S SO SHIMMERY!!!!!!! It has this amazing gold glitter effect in it. Still a neutral but SO MUCH MORE!!!
I needed more photos!!!
Me with the bottle.
Me holding my water cup.
Me with a salt shaker.
Me holding a peach.
Me grabbing the door knob to our pantry.
If I could have found anything else to grab and photograph I would! I am so in love with this neutral color. It went on so smooth and not gloppy or anything!!!
